Chapter description

Jaypaw walks into camp with herbs as his Clanmates prepare for the daylight Gathering. Firestar asks Squirrelflight if she found a good place for the squirrel and the tree-climbing contest, and she mentions that both are taken care of. Upon reaching Leafpool, the blind tom complains about managing every Clan at once, believing that Willowpaw and Kestrelpaw are honing their skills for the contests. Leafpool calmly explains that he must help her, irritating him further even as Leafpool points out that the greencough outbreak has allowed less time for Jaypaw to continue training.

Lionpaw and Hollypaw sprint into camp, reporting that WindClan is heading toward the lake. Foxkit and Icekit are excited, asking various questions and wishing to go, and when Icekit complains about it not being fair that they are staying behind, Jaypaw adds that life is never fair before heading away. Birchfall and Thornclaw's patrols return with prey, and Leopardstar yowls nearby, indicating that RiverClan has arrived.

Leafpool tells Jaypaw that she is going to the daylight Gathering, and he refuses her invite. Suddenly, a bizarre sensation overtakes him, and he begins to drown in earth; soil fills his nose and fox and badger scent overwhelm him. He tries to dig himself out, but much to his horror, he realizes that he is seeing this nightmare through Lionpaw's vision and not his own. Remembering that Lionpaw is at the hunting contest near the ShadowClan border, Jaypaw immediately rushes there in an attempt to stop the disaster. Meanwhile, at the hunting contest, Hollypaw watches Lionpaw bound off with Breezepaw.

Onestar asks Hollypaw if she's ready for her match with Heatherpaw before starting the fight. Hollypaw is declared the victor of the contest, but Jaypaw suddenly dashes by her, searching for Lionpaw before finding him and Breezepaw drowning in earth. His paws touch sand, causing him to jump back, and the sand moves, indicating something beneath it. Jaypaw starts to dig, pleading for help. He flails around desperately, trying to keep himself from sinking like he did in his vision. His paws touch Lionpaw, and he furiously claws at the soil, dragging his brother out. Once Lionpaw is safe, Jaypaw goes back to digging, determined to rescue Breezepaw. Crowfeather arrives at the scene, and he digs alongside Jaypaw, pulling Breezepaw out, though the black apprentice is unresponsive. Once Leafpool arrives, she opens Breezepaw's jaws, instructing Jaypaw to dig out as much soil as he can. Breezepaw then coughs, and Crowfeather thanks Leafpool. Lionpaw weakly calls for his brother, remarking that he thought he was going to StarClan, and Leafpool reassures Jaypaw that he got to the apprentices in time to help.

Hollypaw praises him as a hero, but he replies that he could've reached Lionpaw and Breezepaw sooner. He is then told to head to the lake for the ending of the Gathering, Firestar proclaims that every apprentice did excellent today, and he and the other leaders have agreed that the results of all contests are a draw. Jaypaw mumbles that he's leaving, but stops when Onestar mentions his name, saying that he should be honored for his bravery. Firestar brings up how he rescued Lionpaw and Breezepaw from suffocating in a badger set, and the Gathering cheers for him, Firestar closes the Gathering by comparing it to the Great Journey, proudly proclaiming that they are all true warriors, but Jaypaw disagrees, remembering how lost he was not being able to see in the fight with ShadowClan and longing for his fate to be different.

Jaypaw falls asleep after returning to ThunderClan's camp. He wakes up to find himself under a starry sky in a narrow gully, and he catches Firestar's scent, though the ThunderClan leader isn't in sight. Suddenly, he finds Firestar's shadow in a dark entrance, and he wails that he will not fail, making Jaypaw confused as to what is happening. He finds an old cat, who mews that the destiny of one cat is not the destiny of an entire Clan; going on to deliver the words of an ancient prophecy: There will be three, kin of your kin, who hold the power of the stars in their paws. Jaypaw realizes that he, Lionpaw, and Hollypaw are the three in the prophecy, knowing he is now powerful, but he wonders why Firestar never told ThunderClan about it. No longer caring about his blindness or his inability to be a normal warrior apprentice, Jaypaw thinks about his new destiny, believing that he, Lionpaw, and Hollypaw will be so powerful that they will command StarClan one day.
